MHKflyer52 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Nice 7. Should not last long at that price I would suspect.
Serpent Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 How hard is to swap those fender flares? wheel arch's? to the ones thats in ^ picture.
slngsht Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 swapping them out is pretty straight forward, but you'll have to deal with the holes left in the aluminum afterwards.

jbanker Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 How hard is to swap those fender flares? wheel arch's? to the ones thats in ^ picture. I did just the opposite, just swapped my front cycle fenders for Clamshells. The front clams and headlight mount would have to be swapped for a new cycle fender and headlight mount. They are not the same...Clams have a different set up vs cycle fenders. The mounting points on the frame are the same for the headlights. As mentioned previously, you would want to cover the holes that were left after the clams would be removed. It is not unusual for the owner of a Se7en to swap from one to the other. I personally like the classic look of the clams...both fender styles have their pluses and minuses. You are correct about personal preferrences. Jack
boss351 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Beautiful Cat, do the ear plugs down in the gear stick sock come with it? Glad you aren't in Houston, I don't think I'd be able to resist!
william robert Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Interested in a trade? I have a very nice driver quality 1993 Mazda RX7 twin turbo. About 55K miles on the clock.

Donnie Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 Interested in a trade? I have a very nice driver quality 1993 Mazda RX7 twin turbo. About 55K miles on the clock. Thanks, no. Looking for either an MX5 or Elise.
trough doctor Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Would be a good candidate for importation into Canada. I am currently looking, but just a little out of my price range. Nice car!
Ian7 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Would be a good candidate for importation into Canada. I am currently looking, but just a little out of my price range. Nice car! Hi from Montreal, This car could be in your garage for less than Cdn$30k. You won't get a Caterham or real Lotus 7 for less, trust me I've been through all the options. Even building my own from scratch I've got over 30 in it, not counting labor. If you're even remotely passionate, grab it... :-)
trough doctor Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Oh im passionate enough! Its the bank account thats not big enough! Iam not expecting to get a nice caterham for less than the asking price here. Seems like a great deal for someone considering what a new one goes for. I am Looking at homebuilts and lesser known (quality) kits. I currently have a steel monocoque rotary powered seven so can afford to wait and just explore all options.
Ian7 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 a steel monocoque rotary powered seven oohhh, curious... pictures ?
lancylad Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah, Trough Doctor. Lets see what you got..
Tony Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Great looking 7. Had a Series II years ago and am looking for a new one to enjoy. I'm not familiar with all of the mechanical options, engines, etc. and was wondering how this particular 7 might be as a fun car primarily for around town and a couple of long distance tours each year. Not into the racing aspect, just want a Seven to drive and tinker with. Can anyone share their thoughts about the type of use it is set up for and how it might do for the occasional cruises? Is it still available? Thanks, Tony
